I was born in Guam, and after many years of schooling and military service that have taken me worldwide, I moved back to Guam in 2010. 

Ophthalmology is my career and passion.  I have been trained at the best hospitals in the U.S. under some of the most caring and talented physicians in the world, and I am humbled to use my skills and training to preserve and restore eye health in others, particularly on my island home of Guam.

I am the 3rd generation of physicians in my family.  My grandfather was a physician in Silver Springs, Maryland.  My father was also a Navy physician and retired in 2018 from “The Doctor’s Clinic” in Guam after nearly 40 years of serving Guam as a family medicine physician.

In my free time, you’ll find me on my bike, swimming, surfing, or running the trails.  I’m a cyclist, road triathlete, and Xterra triathlete and have competed in Guam, Saipan, Australia, New Zealand, New Caledonia, Hawaii, and Brazil.
